I've considered buying an E-Book Reader for a while and had been leaning toward the Kobo e-reader or one of the Hanlin readers, but today I saw that I can now get one of the new Nook models for $150, which brings it into the mix as well.

I find the Kobo to be a nice enough reader, but the software (lack of a "go to page" feature and lackluster format support primarily) seems lacking. I'm hoping that the major problems will be worked out, but with no information on it, I don't know.

The Hanlin readers seem nice enough, but the older v3 seems like it's being phased out, and the v5 is only a 5" screen, which seems small.

I really hadn't looked at the Nook much before today, given the old price point but the interface seemed laggy.I'm not sure how well that represents the current nook, as the video was from its launch, and I've heard that firmware updates have fixed some of those problems.

For what it's worth, I plan on reading primarily epub books (or pdfs if support is decent for them) and possibly some manga.

EDIT: For what it's worth, I'll primarily use downloaded files.

Thank you for any insights in advance
